Yes, it was a rough night. It was freezing, and it was so uncomfortable to lie down—I didn't sleep at all!

By morning, Sanya rode his bike to a Chinese store and brought back cardboard boxes to keep warm—it helped a little. My box had "DO NOT FREEZE" written on it.

I don't want to go through that again. I want a warm bed—my health is more important.

Today, Ilyukha and I went downtown again to look for work. We filled out applications and asked everyone everywhere.

In the evening, we met some Russians. One woman from Yaroslavl moved to the USA 20 years ago. She promised to help us with housing, work, and advice. I chatted with some French guys in the evening—it was fun.

Tonight, I'll be sleeping in a bed.
